I believe in my in now,
I believe in the imagination disinterested,
I believe in the gaze,
I believe in the sleepless nights,
I believe in the all-seeing mirror,
I believe in the inevitable martyrdom,
I believe in the words soft,
I believe in video games,
I think of as the "time" flies,
I believe in hatred as inner peace,
I believe in laughter,
I believe in the silences timely,
I think ... I think it fails to write,
In my friends,
But never in the friends of my friends,
I want to believe in them but not them,
At times myself alone,
In my most sinister desires,
In the voices,
In the sweetness of the strokes,
In the gut,
In the cold,
In pure ideas,
I believe in Ambrosia, a new White House,
But mostly I think that I may not stop making believe,
I think.

I'm 23 and I'm an amature photographer who enjoys photographing and sharing the beauty that surrounds us everyday. I was born in Portland Oregon. I lived most of my life on the Washington and Oregon side by the Columbia Gorge, a few years in Pleasant Hill Oregon were i live now and a year in Pennsylvania. I had a bad childhood when i lived with my mother till i was 9 years old and lots of other bad things have happened to me in my life. But that's what has made me who i am today. I got in to photography when i was about 14 - 15 years old. I saw that photography helped me show the way i felt and made me forget all the bad and pain that has and was going on in my life; somethings just never go away. I like how photography helps me show people what i think is beautiful threw my eyes. My friends and family say i have a good eye for photography and a loving heart when it comes to my writing Which is really nice to know they have my back. I don't steal other peoples work that's just wrong everything you see on my gallery i photographed myself. I don't like when other's steal my work or say i do when they know its my photographs or writing they have stolen from me. In my eyes stealing other peoples photographs or other work just shows your not a true photographer and you don't have any respect for other's; Lying doesnt get you any where. I love nature, i like taking photos in the natural lighting and of whatever catches my eye. I hope everyone likes and enjoys my photography.

I'm a self taught illustrator from the Philippines.
My artworks usually focus on surreal/dreamy looking scenery/subjects/concepts.
I do traditional illustrations using pencils,ballpoint pens, colored pencils, watercolors, makeup, coffee and pretty much what ever there is that i can utilize to make an artwork (mixed media etc.)
I also do digital paintings and vector/vexel artworks using PS, AI and Paint Tool SAI.
My dream is to become a childrens book illustrator.
As of today, I'm still trying to find and learn more techniques in drawing to improve my illustrations. =)

Born in the Mountains of Colorado and still enjoying all it has to offer, music and all the various forms of art really have shaped who I am since before I even started elementary school to half way through my Bachelors degree. All the different Faucets of this world have captivated terrified and soothed me.
From working in an art gallery to selling my photography prints and graphic design; as well as having my works displayed and published, I have explored many different avenues in the art world, trying to decide how I want to make my mark. From graphically altered works to literature to traditional arts and Crafts I have explored my interests with great fervor. As well as experienced ups and downs. The only explanation i can give, is it breathes life into me, with out art i cannot exist.
I finally have decided how and what and mostly where and would love the opportunity to change the way people think.
I hope you give me the opportunity to perpetuate positively on, and take the opportunity to let your self be swayed by the experience.
